.a-letter-to-elise.

It was just a fluke that I happened to see

The ghost of a girl in 1893

I didn't think much of her, tried to ignore

But then she came 'round in 1894

A spirit was not something that I had wanted

"Like a diamond in the sk-"

Often it is not understood,
just how alive the world is.

You look out the window, see the still trees, and you think,

"Sure, they're alive, but not like me. They don't move, think or see."

 Marigold’s smiles are all worthwhile

        she likes to dabble in heartache

Unbeknownst to the unabated

         vigor is not shined upon but fated

Love is…

 my favorite pair of glasses,

the ones you look through 

and see 

that the world

is somehow

 brighter.

burn the polaroids you took this summer with the 

first lighter you ever bought, back when you were twelve

and needed to feel something that wasn't packaged, artificial
